Hi,

I've installed an ESXi Qemu node and it just works fine. (passes through some switches and routers connected to management cloud which is connected to my LAN). Now I'd like to copy an ISO image to ESXi datastore and then install it on Host but the bandwidth is awful (about 1mbps).

1- Is this limitation of vIOS L2 and L3 used in between? or cloud management bridged node?

2- Is it possible to copy the ISO to a folder in EVE-NG VM (which is fine and works at 100mbps) and then use it as my ISO image in ESXi host somehow?

I'm using community version and the EVE-NG is installed as a VM in an ESXi 6.7 host.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Mohammad

vIos has limit on speed, use IOL switches better

no such library used for eve esxi nodes as storage is impossible...
EVE labs using of file/hdd mounting system
If to use esxi connected to cloud interface then speed is totally not bad, up to 1Gb upload going in esxi..
Read eve cookbook about networks and clouds

Thanks, my speed is now limited to ~1-2 mbps and as you said it seems to be due to using vIOSL2 and L3 images.
I will use Routers IoS (Cisco 7200) and IOSL and give it a check again
